I dream of a world where all advertising is in one place, and where I can go and look up things, when I want to. Where I can type a problem that I have into a bot and then it can show me suggested solutions for that problem: this could be as simple as "my car is too dirty" to "how do I communicate with by grandfather, who is both nearly deaf and not technical enough to send sms?"
I don't want ads to show up everywhere, and I don't want them to tell me that they have a solution to my problem _without knowing what my problem is_. I have complained about it before (partly in the wain hope the some facebook engineers will see it), that Facebook does not use the data I freely give it to base its ads on[0], but only what its AI can match me with.
In short, I think there is a time and place for me to enter transaction mode - but not with ads that assume their are smarter or know me better than I do, and not when I get interrupted.
[0]: I am pretty good at blocking third party tracking, but I did tell them what school I went to, that I studied computer science, and when I did. Any basic human would be able to infer that I might like nerdy things and that I have a relatively high income. FB continually feed me slop ads.
